After the drama surrounding Jane Got A Gun I wondered what would become of Ramsay. Glad to see she's found a new film and actually got it (more or less) finished. I saw many critics hoping for a shock Palme D'Or win, although in the end Ramsay won for Screenplay while Phoenix carried home Best Actor. It doesn't sound like an easy watch:

The Playlist rounds up some info -- and a couple photos! -- from the latest Spike Jonze film, starring Joaquin Phoenix:
The new film, Jonze's first full length effort since 2009's sublime "Where the Wild Things Are," stars Joaquin Phoenix with a trio of leading ladies in "The Master" co-star Amy Adams, Rooney Mara and Olivia Wilde. Plot details thus were said to center on a man who fell in love with a Siri-like voice. But that's not quite accurate.
Over on production company Annapurna Pictures' website (who are also behind the Phoenix/Adams-starring "The Master") they've quietly posted this official synopsis, which sheds a bit more light on the film: In the not so distant future, Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), a lonely writer purchases a newly developed operating system designed to meet the user's every needs. To Theordore's surprise, a romantic relationship develops between him and his operating system. This unconventional love story blends science fiction and romance in a sweet tale that explores the nature of love and the ways that technology isolates and connects us all.
But that's not all. The folks over The Film Stage have confirmed through their sources, that the film has a brand new and simple title: "Her." Googling that movie title will be fun. . . .
